From experience, there are. I was near-blind from birth to age three, and the ways I recognise people seem to be quite different from most folk. I am readily fooled by a drastic change of hairstyle, for example, and my perceptions of attractiveness have a lot more to do with voice than with vision.
With advancing age, I get to approximately GURPS Bad Sight
